In this episode of Speaking of Faith, host Amber interviews Kateri Mancini, director of the Office of Social Concerns, and Lexi Torres, a social concerns intern and M.Div. student, about their experience at "Day on the Hill" in St. Paul with the Joint Religious Legislative Coalition (JRLC). They share how the day began with multi-faith prayer and advocacy education and moved into meetings with legislators. The conversation emphasizes that representatives are approachable neighbors and that small actions of advocacy matter. Key issues included strengthening food security, safeguarding affordable housing and homelessness supports, opposing gambling expansion and improving dignity for foster youth by replacing trash bags with proper luggage.
